What an amazing experience! The jet boat ride was full of excitement, speed, and stunning views of the Gold Coast. The driver was super friendly, made everyone feel safe, and added so much fun with his commentary and music. I loved every twist and spin — it was the perfect mix of thrill and laughter! Definitely a must-do activity if you’re visiting the Gold Coast. I’d love to go again! 🚤💦

Fantastic ride! It was super fun and super fast! The driver was great, informative, safety conscious and checking if everyone was cool after the 360's. Wear your hair tied back if it's long, it's gonna get wet and knotty.

Had a wonderful experience through the jet boating. It was the first time for my 8 years old daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. I and my daughter will do it again. Highly recommended.
